Community Problem
Accordingto the Mayo Clinic(2014), obesityinvolvesanabundance of bodyfatandit increases
the riskof otherdiseasesandproblemsinvolvinghealththatcanaffectqualityof life.A few problems
are heartdisease,diabetes,andhighbloodpressure.The CentersforDisease ControlandPrevention

(CDC) (2014a) state that about34.9% of the adultsinthe UnitedStatesare obese.Additionally,
childhoodobesityisagrowingconcerninthe UnitedStates.The CDC’s(2013a) prevalence mapsshowed
Illinoisbeinginthe range of 25%-30% of adultsbeingobese,with22other states alsobeinginthis
range.The CDC (2013a) statedthat the Midwestregionhasthe secondhighestrate of obesityafterthe

System,Missouri isinthe 30th

to 30th
percentile.Itwasalsostatedthat 30.3% of the citizensof Missouri are obese.
Accordingto the Weight-control InformationNetwork(WIN,2014),1 in6 childrenandadolescentsare
consideredtobe obese.Obesityaffectschildrenages2-19 andcosts the UnitedStatesover250 billion
dollarsannually(LetsMove,n.d.a).
Accordingto the CDC (2012), short-termhealtheffectsof obesityinchildreninclude ariskfor
bone and jointproblemsbecausetheirbodycannotsustainthe weight,riskforsleepapnea,andself-
esteemproblems.Obese individualsare atriskfor cardiovasculardisease,highbloodpressure,high
cholesterol,andtohave pre-diabetes.Long-termhealtheffectsinclude the riskof beingobeselaterin
life,riskof heartdisease,type IIdiabetes,stroke,andosteoarthritis.A childwhoisobese istwice as
likelytodie before the age of 55 as a childwhoisnot obese (LetsMove,n.d.a).Asthe obese children
age intoadulthood,there isanincreasedchance of themdevelopingmanyformsof cancersuch as
breastcancer, coloncancer,gall bladder,thyroid,multiplemyeloma,andHodgkin’slymphoma (CDC,
2012).
The CDC (2013b) listsmany factors thatcan cause childhoodobesity:including unhealthydrink
optionsinschools,unhealthyfoodadvertisedmore oftenthanhealthyfood,lawsregardingproper
nutritioninchildcare centers,nosafe orappealingplacesforchildrentoplay,healthy foodcosting
significantlymore,nothavingthe rightportionsof foodgroups,andhavingthe influence of mediaand
television.Accordingtothe CDC(2013b), there are several contributorstothe lackof physical activity,

includingthe qualityof the physical activityinschoolsandthe lackof safe or appealingplace forchildren
to be active and play.The majorityof parentsbelieve thattheirchild/childrenhave more opportunities
to exercise inschool thanoutside of school (LetsMove,n.d.a).AccordingtoJoanPattersonof the Las

to focusmore on state testedsubjectsafterNoChildLeftBehindin2001. Schoolsthat provide the daily
recommendedamountof physical activityhave droppeddrasticallybetweenthe yearsof 2001-2006.
There are alsodifferentcontributingfactorstopooreatinghabits.Thiscan include the foodanddrinks
available atthe elementaryschools,andthe costof the healthier foodscomparedtothe costof
unhealthyfoods.The CDC(2013b) alsomentionsthatthe mediaplaysanotherrole because of the lack
of advertisingof healthyfoodsandwhatisshownontelevision.
There are manysolutionsthatstates,communities,andparentscando to helpprevent
